OK...I built an Estes PHEONIX sturdy but stock.. It turns out real heavy...
It's first flight was on a D 12 5 which picked it up about 40-45 feet and of course the parachute ejected after it dropped back to the ground...just enough to pop a fin off...
I've repaired that and bought AT E30's...one 4 second and one 7 second delay.
Here's the question...What can or should I expect with either motor? I don't want to rip it up with a too short 4 second delay if it's still climbing... on the other hand we don't want a lawn dart because 7 seconds is too long...
By the way...this is my first attempt at mid power...
What does anyone suggest...??? THANKS in advance...!!!
